Well the answers are to place a script in /etc/init.d which
is executed first time the New Machine is booted:
1) Make sure JumpStart puts a script in right location:
/a/etc/init.d/buildprinters
2) link this in /a/etc/rc2.d/S99buildprinters
What then happens is this file is executed the first time the machine
is booted and then it deletes itself.
I have inclosed the following scripts:
i) printer install
ii) patch install
OR)
Create a finish script which uses the chroot command, therefore it is
then possible to use the true "lp commands".
Also, see inclosesed script "installprinters"

PS.
I solved the timezone problem:
Setup NIS 4.1.3 Server
#cat > /etc/timezone
GB <nis-domain>
^D
# make -n timezone
